3 Weeks Blessed!

allie • October 30, 2012

We’ve reached a day we never thought we’d see.  Actually 21 of those to be exact.  Jules is a complete miracle to us and we are falling in love with her a little more every day.

Happy 3 Weeks Birthday little girl!

Juliet got dressed up in her new outfit from Auntie Sarah to celebrate her 3 week birthday.  It’s amazing how big a (fits 5-8 lb) dress looks on a little lady:)  Looking good Jules.

The other hoodlums didn’t want to be left out…

Oh how I’m loving the stage of silly smiles:)

We were blessed by a great dinner that also came with balloons and treats for Jules’ 3 week birthday (Thanks Lisa!)  The balloons have kept the older two busy all night, and we thought we’d have a little fun with them for photos…

It started out okay…

but soon the fun wore off.

But sister insisted on one more with her.  Two pretty ladies.

In these last 3 weeks Jules has:

Beaten the odds

Touched lives

Changed our lives

Served a huge purpose

&

Won our hearts

I wonder what she’ll do in the next 3 weeks:)

Who are we to say that not every life matters….Our little Jule’s matters more than we’ll ever know!

The Oaks final outdoor reveal

I pulled off the biggest surprise I've ever done... I can't believe it!! So a little back story - 17 years ago Ryan sold his prized possession, his 1991 Mazda Miata, to help fund a much needed mini van for our baby on the way. After I got pregnant I quit my job and we went from 2 incomes down to 1 income. We knew that a 2 person convertible just wasn't practical and that the finances could be used in a better way. So we sold it... Fast forward 17 years and it all comes back full circle. I put my 17 year old son Tate on the task of finding us a Miata that looked just like dads, and he blew it out of the water. He found the perfect car on Facebook Marketplace In great condition! He drove almost 3 hours to pick it up with a buddy and pulled off the best surprise ever!!! Also to note Tate has never driven through the Twin Cities or Driven a stick shift on any road besides a gravel one close to the cabin. BUT he was confident and crushed the challenge!! We stored it for the night and gave it to him the next day! I think Ryan's reaction says it all (watch the mini vlog below!) Our "19th" anniversary isn't until November but what fun is a convertible if you can't drive it in the summer, so we gave it to him early and are so happy we did! *make sure to read until the end for a good laugh ;)
